Local Only Trade (LOT)

[jturman35]

Yes, I’m up! I’m not sure if Rick91981 has to confirm he received the package before you ship?

Knowing what I known now about shipping cost the min should be more than 48oz. It cost me $17 just to ship 76oz. Seems like a waste to spend $12-$15 to ship 4 beers?

I think 72oz should be the new min!

@jturman35 has provided the tracking info. Since he has over 100 posts, I believe the rules state he is eligible now before I receive the package. Others may want to chime in with their opinions though.

By the rules, he would require trade rating to skip the step of you receiving your beer before the next person ships to him.

The minimum was likely so that people could still take part without spending a fortune on beer and shipping combined. That said, many of us have sent quite a few more ounces than the minimum requirement.

I’ve found that setting up a FedEx home account and printing the label prior to dropping off at a FedEx location provides me with the best pricing.

Same here on the pricing.

Do you package in your own box, or do you use one of FedEx's flat rate boxes?

My own packaging, which is usually comprised of Amazon packaging or other beer trade packaging that I’ve collected. Reuse as much as possible as the cost of packaging at the store is expensive.

I would expect flat rate packaging would cost more. On FedEx site, when preparing shipping label, I have the option to choose what type and enter the packaging dimensions and weight. For most shipments, unless you can ship to the persons work, I choose FedEx Home Delivery with my own packaging as the option.

That's perfect. Thanks so much.

[JamesonFan]

I apologize, I misunderstood the protocol. I sent @jturman35 his beer yesterday and will be there tomorrow.

 

[TBC]

Well now you did it and messed up the whole thread!!! Location and styles!

 

[JamesonFan]

Don't yell at me, dad. Ha I'm in Cincinnati, so anything outside of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana. I really dig juicy IPAs, but also stouts and ambers/reds. Please no sour or funky stuff. Thanks to everybody in advance.

[jimyson]

The amount of shipments in this thread this week is absurd.

 

[JamesonFan]

It's been a good week.

 

[Br3w4u]

Beer is in route. Should arrive Wednesday according to UPS.
